KAIONA GUIDES THE LOST
written by Gabrielle Ahuli‘i, illustrated by Jing Jing Tsong

The seventh title in the Hawaiian Legends for Little Ones series, Kaiona Guides the Lost introduces kids ages 0-4 to one of Hawai‘i’s lesser-known deities, Kaiona of the Wai‘anae Mountains.

In simple, poetic language, this story gives small kids a taste of Hawai‘i’s rich history of storytelling.

Kaiona is a goddess who lives on the peak of Ka‘ala, the tallest mountain on O‘ahu. Along with her companions, the native birds of the forest and shore, she watches over travelers and ensures that they make their way home safely.
​
The other titles in the series are: Māui Hooks the Islands, Māui Slows the Sun, Hina, Pele Finds a Home, Naupaka, Hi‘iaka Battles the Wind, and Lea, Goddess of Canoe Builders—all legends that will give kids a wider view of Hawaiian culture, history, and its natural world.
